I've been reading up on this topic because I've just landed myself in the same situation.

So, I managed to root my M8t but I haven't managed to flash another ROM (like your Danish one) to it yet. The reason for this is because I can't get rid of the S-ON on the phone which stops you from installing custom ROMs. To my knowledge, although I'm still searching, there isn't a way yet.

The slightly good news is that you can put a ROM that was designed specifically for the M8t on it but I haven't managed to find one with Google Play etc. yet.

So in conclusion, you can root your phone but you can't put anything useful on it yet (that I know of).

I hope I've cleared things up a little and if you'd like an explanation on how to root the M8t I'd be happy to tell you, just let me know.

Hey CrimeRider93.

If you already managed to root (meaning you obtained bootloader unlock and custom recovery) you could try to s-off with firewater. If firewater doesn't work for your M8 you can try sunshine s-off, as I did.

To obtain root you have to unlock bootloader (e.g. via htcdev.com) and install a custom recover (my personal choice was TWRP). After this you can flash root with your "new" recovery.

After this you have to s-off your device (see my answer above).

If you ar finally s-off you can download a stock HTC backup of the European (WWE) ROM as well as the fitting firmware.

Next step would be to perform a TWRP backup of your device and place the above mentioned ROM backup in your TWRP/Backup/H..../ folder on your HTC One M8 and rebooting back into recovery.

In recovery you can now backup to your dowloaded stock ROM and again reboot to bootloader.

The last two steps are to change the CID to a European (WWE) one (e.g. HTC__102) and after this flashing the firmware in RUU mode.

For a more detailed guide just search on this forums, or simply ask your questions. I'll try to help as good as passible. Remenber I'm not to blame for a brick of your smartphones, should something go wrong during one of the steps.

For the M8t, there is a easier way for Google Play service (gmail, map... etc),

Just search "GMS安装器" from HTC App store or Baidu App store. Then you are good to go.

As for the ROM, yeah... I am hoping to find some idiot step-by-step tutorial to teach me how to do so. Wonder if any kernal or recovery or rom on the forum can be used on HTC One M8t? Also the phone is using TD-SCDMA and TDD-LTE, are those firmware or rom designed specifically for the hardware of FDD-LTE and WCDMA?
